Devon giggled quietly to herself as she strode away from the area of the campgrounds where the Ilvermorny students were staying. As much as she’d love to stay with the other Ilvermorny students while here at Hogwarts, she also wanted to explore this new school. On top of it, other students from different schools were staying at Hogwarts, too! It sounded like a lovely opportunity to meet completely new students and potentially make more friends. Making friends was one of her favorite things to do.

‘It is so nice out here! Sure, it feels a little weird to be, as we say in the State, across the pond. But, it also feels perfect at the same time. It’s a little weird, to be sure. But, I’m excited for this experience,’ she thought.

For now, the young Horned Serpent was carrying a book and a bright smile, as she twirled gracefully through the Hogwarts campgrounds. It did not take her long to travel to the regular Hogwarts grounds. She spotted a tree nearby, and Devon sat on the ground in the shade of the tree, after fixing her skirt. A light breeze slightly ruffled her hair, and she giggled again, as she pushed a stray strand of her blonde hair behind her ear. With a bright smile, she popped open her copy of Furthermore. She began to read her book.

Mateo Yamamoto had spent most of the first day with his friends, but he did explore slightly, but today, he decided to explore more of the castle on his own.

He left the Mahoutokoro side of the campgrounds and decided to take a walk, and let his feet gide him somewhere. While he was walking, he looked around and noticed how different Hogwarts is then Mahoutokoro, but he likes what he's seeing.

Soon, he found himself near a lake, which is probably the only lake this school has. Mateo then saw a girl sitting near a tree and reading a book, and he decided to walk over to her, since he might be able to make a friend that isn't in Mahoutokoro. When he got nearer to the girl, he cleared his throat, and then said,
"Uh, hi. Sorry to disturb you from reading, but mind if I sit here? Also, what are you reading?"

Mateo spoke in perfect English, without letting an accent slip. Mateo can easily speak three languages fluently, and no accent slips form any other language either, which took a while for his speech to come off like that, but people will still know that he's Japanese because of his appearance.

Mateo hadn't noticed that the girl was reading, he only noticed when he began talking, and he felt bad for disturbing her from reading, since sometimes whenever someone talks while someone is reading, they tend to lose their page, or they don't even talk back, and Mateo hoped none of those things happened to him.

Even with just the short walk from the campgrounds to the lake, Devon was easily able to see the differences between just the grounds of Hogwarts from the grounds at Ilvermorny. While she was just a measly first year at the American school, she came to love the grounds at Ilvermorny. There were so many places she could relax. And if she ever needed any peace and quiet, she could find it.

Devon flipped the page in her book. ‘Everything feels different here … even just sitting here by the lake. In America, it felt …. I don’t know, it’s really hard to quantify. I want to say fresher. Similar to a crisp apple feeling …. darn, I should have brought a notebook with me, that was a pretty good comparison that I could use,’ she thought, a giggle dancing on her lips, as she flipped the page a second time.

As her emerald green eyes flew across the page, Devon heard a male voice talking to her. “Hi, you’re welcome to join me,” she replied. After a few moments, she placed a finger in her book to keep her spot and she looked properly up at the newcomer. She saw a boy who did not look like a typical Hogwarts student.

Devon gave this boy a bright smile. “The book I’m reading is called Furthermore. I love how it has magic in it, but nothing like real magic,” she giggled.

Mateo heard the girl reply saying that he can join her, so he sat down beside her and saw her place her finger into the book, kinda like a bookmark. He then also heard her say that the book she is reading is called 'Furthermore', and that it has magic in it. Before saying anything, Mateo looked at the girl, and knew that she wasn't from Hogwarts, but he was curious about which school she is from, so he said,
"Thanks for letting me join you. What's Furthermore about? I haven't heard of it before. You aren't from here, right? I attend Mahoutokoro. Oh, and I'm Mateo Yamamoto,"

Mateo held his hand out to the girl, hoping that she'll take it and shake his hand, but if not, that'll be fine too, and maybe awkward as well, but Mateo didn't worry about that.

As much as Mateo loves Quidditch, he also loves reading books, he's mostly read the books that Mahoutokoro's library has, and perhaps he'll expand on the books he reads, only if he can find a place to find the books that is.

For friends, Mateo doesn't mind hanging out with people that aren't as passionate of Quidditch like he is, but he likes a lot of things besides Quidditch, so he can also share a passion with someone without knowing it.

Devon gently closed her book against her hand, to show this boy that he had her undivided attention. While she wasn’t trained to be polite or anything, she didn’t want to appear rude. Especially, since she was in a foreign country, with other students of other schools, too. While she didn’t know much of anything about the other schools of magic, she yearned to learn more. The young Horned Serpent was very inquisitive.

“You’re welcome, I don’t mind having company,” Devon smiled. “Furthermore is about this world where this girl Alice has to travel to, to hone her magic, called Furthermore,” she replied. She gently shook her head at his question. “No, I am not. I attend Ilvermorny. Oh, cool. Mahoutokoro! That’s in Japan, right? Awesome,” she giggled. “It is nice to meet you Mateo. My name is Devon Wallen,” she smiled.

Devon’s green eyes glanced down at his outstretched hand, and she immediately clasped his hand and shook it. Her love came from broom racing, despite having fallen from her broom at the beginning of the school year. While she still used the school brooms, she really wanted to afford one, one day. Naturally, she had plenty of other interests to occupy her time, other than flying at fast speeds.

What the girl was doing was something very different from what most people did whenever they were reading and someone was talking to them. No one really closed the book, they only did if they weren't immersed in the book, but Mateo knew the girl was giving him her full attention, which made him smile slightly. And even though Mateo is quite and shy upon meeting someone new, he hasn't been quite or shy at all while setting foot on the grounds of Hogwarts, which is good.

Mateo snapped out of his thoughts as he heard the girl sitting beside him speak, saying she didn't mind having company. Then he heard her explain the book, which piqued Mateo's interest. Then he heard her say that she isn't from Hogwarts and is from Ilvermorny, and then heard the girl ask if Mahoutokoro is in Japan, then finally, she introduced herself as Devon Wallen, Mateo also felt Devon take his outstretched hand, and shake it. After the handshake was complete, Mateo let go of Devon's hand, gave her a smile and said,
"It's nice to meet you too, Devon. Furthermore sounds really interesting. Where did you get the book? Ilvermorny, the New York school, right? Yes, Mahoutokoro is in Japan. Isn't it cool how so many people from different schools and students at this school are all together? Oh, d'you know anyone that goes to Hogwarts? I know a first year in Ravenclaw. We're childhood friends,"

Devon was not normally shy or quiet. That didn’t stop her from still being awkward, however. But, she could normally hold some form of conversation for a while. And often had a lot of pent-up energy. As her interactions with a certain red-haired boy from her school showed, she could be reduced to being unable to converse. Thankfully, it didn’t happen often.

Upon the completion of their handshake, Devon placed her hand in her lap. “I brought it with my to Ilvermory, and now here. I’m a muggle-born student, so I have many muggle books like this,” she gestured with her free hand back to the book, still with her finger in it to denote her page. She wasn’t the type to rudely start reading, while still holding a conversation. All the more, then, she’d be seen as incompetent.

Devon nodded to Mateo’s comment about where Ilvermorny was. “It is. I grew up in New York City, so it wasn’t that big of a change for me. I used to a big city,” she giggled. “Oh, I completely agree. It is nice to see so many of us here at the same time. It makes it ripe to make friends with other students from different schools, which I find enjoyable,” she replied. “Oh, cool! I don’t know anyone that well. I saw a cute brunette Slytherin girl yesterday and we talked. She was kind of shy, but still equally curious,” she giggled.

Unlike his half-blood friend which attends Hogwarts, Mateo has been in love before, but hasn't had a girlfriend, yet. Maybe he'll get one? But, Mateo isn't ready to date, yet maybe in other years, not in his first year though. Mateo was trying to get onto the Quidditch team at Mahoutokoro, and that was all that was on his mind, well, except for the ball. He still doesn't know who he'll be going with.

Mateo snapped out of his head when he heard Devon speak again, saying that she's from the muggle world, which made him want to ask about the muggle world, even though his half-blood friend had told him a bit about the muggle world, he was still curious. Before he could ask, however, Devon continued speaking, so Mateo listened, until he was sure that she had finished speaking before saying,
"The muggle world sounds nice. I'm a pureblood, so I'm not really familiar with the muggle world, but if it's possible, could you maybe tell me a bit more about it? Nice. It's New York like crazy busy? I'm from Yokohama. It's a city, in Japan, not the most famous city, but still a good city to go to. I agree with you, making friends from other schools is a great way to learn more about the schools, and their cultures as well, so I'm glad this event was hosted. That's nice. Wait, what if the Slytherin girl and my childhood bestie are actually besties? Wouldn't that be a coincidence?"

Devon hadn’t been on the lookout to date at all. It wasn’t even a topic on her radar. To her, the most important things when she started Ilvermorny were to start off the year strong academically, join plenty of activities, make a name for herself to separate her from her siblings, and, of course, have fun. To be fair, she was doing well at those goals. However, the initial name she made for herself wasn’t good. Falling off your broom in front of others wasn’t an accomplishment. Hopefully, with broom racing, she could repair her image.

“I don’t know about any customs in Japan. But I can tell you about anything in America. My family and I live in this big apartment complex. I’m pretty sure our apartment is on the bigger side … I have two older brothers and an older sister. They all go to Ilvermorny, too,” she explained. “Oh, New York City is crazy busy and very big. To get around, one of the easiest modes of transportation is the subway, but that gets jam-packed so easily,” she continued. “Yokohama sounds cool. Smaller cities are nice, too. I’m glad you enjoy it there.”

Devon nodded in agreement about learning more about other cultures “I know! That’s the best part!” She giggled at Mateo’s comment about the Slytherin girl and his childhood bestie being besties. “That would be a very big coincidence. I could ask her when I see her again. The girl’s name is Kaitlyn Connor,” she recalled.

From a young age, Mateo had been taught how to ride a broom, and he loved it. His parents also taught him all about Quidditch, and he knew he'd want to be a professional Quidditch player as well, just like his parents, even tho they went to different schools and play on different teams, which is how he can speak Japanese, Spanish, and English fluently. He heard Devon speak, so he listened to her carefully, as she shared things about New York to him. He smiled at her before saying,
"What's an apartment complex? Is it like a big building with homes inside? I live in a mansion back home, or something close to a mansion. Japan also has trains, not much like subways though, and it's how people get to all the cities across Japan, if they don't want to take a plane. My family flies on brooms most of the time to get to another city in Japan,"

After he had finished speaking about cities, he heard Devon add onto what he had said about his childhood friend and the girl that Devon had met were besties, which would definitely be cool. Mateo then heard Devon say that the Slytherin girls name is Kaitlyn Conner, and after he was sure Devon had finished speaking, Mateo said,
"I'll ask my friend when I see her again as well! My friend's name is Tracey Bailey. I think she has a pet kitten by the name of Tiger, but I'm not too sure though. She's also a Metamorphmagus. D'you know what a Metamorphmagus is? If not, I can explain it to you,"
